<p>I can&#8217;t really speculate on CO2 because I&#8217;ve never owned a CO2 gun.  But my suspicion is that since CO2 is highly sensitive to the ambient temperature, you&#8217;re going to get even wider variations, and then you&#8217;ll have twice as much trouble trying to figure out why.</p>

<p>The reason I leave the &#8220;power&#8221; wheel on 0 is because I think the hammer slamming into the top hat is the worst part of the design of this gun.  If you haven&#8217;t shot any better guns, you won&#8217;t know what I&#8217;m talking about, but on better guns, say, any Daystate, USFT etc&#8230;, you will find that when you squeeze the trigger, there is&hellip;<span class="activity-read-more" id="activity-read-more-84034"><a href="https://talonairgun.com/forums/topic/talon-ss-chrony-s-accuracy-power-wheel-settings-tophat/#post-98336" rel="nofollow ugc">Read more</a></span></p>

									<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The method you use to fill the gun with air has nothing to do with how much power it has.  You merely fill the gun to whatever pressure you want, and depending upon that, and a couple of other adjustments, you get the power you want.  You would never fill these guns with over 3000 psi of air, and most people don&#8217;t use that much.  </p>

It has 33 different kinds of pellets to try.  You haven&#8217;t found the right ones yet.   If you can only try a few at a time, try some JSB Exacts.</p>

									<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>My tophat is still out to .14, and the problem went away.  I think adjusted too tight against the breech causes excess air to escape from the seal around the tophat, and you can feel this easily by holding the back of your hand right next to the breech when you fire it so the hairs on the back of your hand move.

So now my TH is set at .14.  So much for being able to adjust the gun for power and efficiency with the TH.</p>

									<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Yes, with the rifle cocked, the breech has some movement in it even when turned to either side.  All the way closed and pushed left, I can still move the breech up and down the width of the set screw in the tophat.

<p>Put heart and soul into my trusty Benjamin Franklin 340 model, even put a scope on it, but beyond 10 yards, it was useless.  Of course mine is so old that the barrel has no rifling and was designed to shoot pellets and BB&#8217;s.  Maybe the newer 392&#8217;s or 397&#8217;s are better?</p>
